Bearing Witness: Canadian Doctors in Gaza

Bearing Witness: Canadian Doctors in Gaza8 okt54 min

Imagine seeing an atrocity with eyes wide open and then returning to a life that doesn't ask much about it. This is the experience of five Canadian doctors who have been offering urgent medical aid in Gaza for almost three years. But in Gaza, the absence of resources means often all they can do is bear witness. In this podcast, each doctor shares how what they experienced changed their lives.

Guests in this episode:

Mel Brecknell is a physician specializing in emergency medicine.

Rizwan Minhas is a board certified physician in family medicine in Canada and the U.S.

Ben Thomson is a Toronto physician working in nephrology, general internal medicine, and public health predominantly in humanitarian work zones.
